A Doggone Tasty Time at One Market

San Francisco’s One Market restaurant — steps from the Hyatt Regency at the Embarcadero — can be a fancy-shmancy place that has hosted celebs such as David Beckham and his wife, Victoria (aka Posh), and featured such high-brow fare as prix fixe dinners centered entirely around a particular artisan-raised animal.

But it also knows how to have fun.

Just witness its newest addition to the menu — a foot-long hot dog. Technically, it’s a little over 12 inches. Served on a house-baked poppy-seed bun, this mouthful of a wiener comes with mustard, house-made sweet pickles, spiced tomato jam and sauerkraut. To wash it all down, you also get your choice of one of seven cold draught beers.

The dog and beer combo is available for $12.50 (or just $9 for the dog alone) in the restaurant’s bar and lounge, weekdays until 5:30 p.m.

Hehehe. I had to put my cursor over the photos to see if the restaurant had given them to you or if you had in fact brought your own ruler. Looks good but I’m all about eating the hot dog with the bun so I wish the bun was longer, I agree with vaniallsugar though that the condiment cups are fab.

I’m with the commenter who said the hot dog is elegant. We have a great new hot dog place in Pasadena, but its weak link (no pun intended) is the bun. This place seems to have all the bases covered with a home-baked bun, all my favorite condiments, grill marks on the dog and a beautiful presentation

I think that’s a perfectly spent $12.50. I’ve always wanted to try making my own yeast hot dog buns. I’ve done poppy seed hamburger buns and they turned out great. Knowing that One Market made the bun is very impressive to me. No one does that! And that hot dog length? Geez louise! I’d like to see the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest winner replace all his 50-something hot dogs with this longer kind. One Market should host a contest. Good luck to the Nathan’s guy!
